Was sending out claims today with this code. Claims were rejected from the software company saying the code was no longer valid. Looked at the deleted codes in CPT & sure enough it's been deleted. Does anyone know if there is a another code we are now supposed to use for e-prescribe? Is this no longer reportable? Haven't been able to locate any information on it. Appreciate the help!

The eRx program as we know it is FINISHED!! Give me a few mins, I'll find a solid resource for you; I know I've read several articles about it recently.

Here's a couple:

So 2014 is the last year to receive an incentive, if you qualified for one from previous years' reporting, and you no longer have to report the G8553.

Hope this helps!!
 
G8553

Hi, we are having the same issue. Can someone post a link where it specifically says you no longer have to report anything in 2014 if you have qualified in previous years? I have been looking and cannot find where it says this. Thanks for your help.
 
eRx incentive codes

I just spoke with a rep at the Quality Net help desk who advised that we no longer need to report the eRx codes as of 12/31/2013. The incident report that I received via e-mail advised the following:

"EPs need to contact the EHR Help Desk to determine whether or not there is something they need to report in order to meet the eRx portion of the EHR Meaningful Use Incentive Program. The EHR help desk phone number is 888-734-6433."
 
Also having trouble with the code G8553. Listed as being inactive, but yet I thought 2014 we were still able to report this code for the incentive.

You no longer need to report G8553. 2014 is the last year you can receive an incentive, but that is based on 2013 reporting. The code is inactive as of 1-1-14.
 
G8553

If you have the current 2014 HCPCS book you will see the code G8553 listed with a line through it and in small print next to the code it has "Jan", for January.
